We can briefly discuss the topics included in my breastfeeding class (above) and we will work together on a lactation care plan that fits for your individual family. No two families are alike. I will help you do what works best for you and your family.

I'm here to support you in your breastfeeding journey whether that be 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or beyond!

Where can I learn to feed my baby the normal way?
Women in other countries learn by watching their family and friends. Here in the U.S. it's not as common to see other moms nursing in public, I call it "born in captivity" which means; you didn't learn to breastfeed by watching someone else do it first.  So, how can you learn to feed your baby? You can learn by taking classes, joining groups like Le Leche League and getting help from a lactation specialist. It takes a village to raise a child, and getting help so you can learn how to feed your baby, is one of the first steps to having a healthy newborn.
This video by Ameda is informative and will get you started. A great demonstration on the basics of how to properly latch a baby.
